Default Re: Stripped Rear Wheel Hub

You might want to rethink that after having a closer look at the second pic in the first post.

The lug bolts pass through the rotor and thread into the hub itself. So, new rotors won't help with his issue.
hopefully, It's just a couple of stripped bolts and there is no damage to the hub. Just as Infinite said, Drilling and tapping for a larger bolt also means drilling the wheel so the larger bolt may pass through it. The brake rotor would no doubt require the hole/s enlarged as well. All this will probably cost more than replacing the stripped hub in the long run!
